I was out Saturday fishing for trout through the ice holes along the dock. There was a guy fishing with a 1/16 black road runner with a nickel blade sitting on a bucket and every few minutes it seemed he would be hooked up with one. Didn't have any blade baits with me and nothing solid black but managed a dozen or so trout in the couple hours I was there. Yesterday, conditions were windy so decided to make some black bladed jigs. These are 1/16 on #6 sickle hooks. Some spinners and prop baits using marabou and shimmer rabbit strips in silver and gold. Been a long time since I have painted a solid color jig. I will have one of these on when I fish tomorrow.
